BOTTLE AND BOTTLE ATTACHMENT.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 255,642, dated March 28, 1882.

Application filed February 1, 1882. (No model.)

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, DAVID LUBIN, of Saoramento, in the county of Sacramento, and in the State of California, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Bottles and Bottle Attachments; and I do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description thereof, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, and to the letters of reference marked thereon, making a part of this specification.

This invention relates to improvements which are applicable to bottles; and the nature of my invention consists in` a bottle having adrip and pouring cup formed onits neck, in combination with perforations through the bottle-neck communicating with said cup.

The invention also consists in a graduated cup combined with a bottle-neck through which perforations are made communicating with the cup, as will be hereinafter explained.

In the annexed drawings, Figure l is a perspective view of a bottle, partly in section, having my improvement applied to its neck. Fig. 2 shows a bottle having three independent compartments, three necks, and drip or pouring cupsapplied tothe same. Fig. 3 is a horizontal section through Fig. 2. Fig. 4L is a vertical sectional ,view of part of a bottle, showing a modification ot' Fig. l. Fig. 5 shows the` drip or pouring cup graduated.

A designates the body of the bottle, B the Y neck, and C a cork or stopple applied in the neck or mouth.

D designates apouringcupwhich is preterably oblong, and which is provided with one or more pouring-lips, a. This cup or funnel is formed entire with the neck of the bottle, and it is located a short distance below the month or upper end of the neck B.

Perforations b bare made laterally through the neck B, at the base of the cup or funnel D, which, when the cork or stopple C is wholly or partly removed from the bottle, forms a communication between said cupor funnel and the interior of the bottle.

The cup or funnel D may be provided with graduating-marks, as shown in Fig. 5. This will be found very useful for apothecaries, as they can measure different liquids in the cup or funnel when passages b b' are shut by the cork C, and when these passages are opened such liquids will be allowed to iiow into the reservoirof the bottle,thereby dispensing with the use of a separate graduate.

Instead of forming the cup or funnel D on the neck of a bottle, this cup or funnel may be formed on a separate neck, perforated at b b, and adapted to lit snugly into the neck of a bottle like a stopple, as shown in Fig. 4.

A screw-threaded stopple, C, may he applied to the neck ot' the bottle or to the supplemental neck shown in Fig. 4t. This stopple C serves to close the end of the neck, and'italso serves as a valve for the passages b.

` It is obvious that the cup or funnel not only serves as a means for pouring a liquid from the bottle, but italso serves asafunnelthrough which a liquid can be poured into the bottle through openings b. When thick or viscous iuids are used in a bottle provided with the cup or funnel, the latter serves as a drip-cup, to prevent drops ot the liquid from flowing on the outer surface of the bottle below the said cup. Two holes should be made through the neck of the bottle. One allows air to enter while the liquid is poured.

Having described my invention, I claiml. The combination of the cup or funnel with the neck B, provided with passages b, substantially as described.

2. The combination of the cup or funnel,the graduated marks thereon, the neck B, and passagestransversely through this neck, substantially as described.

3. The combination of a neck, B, provided with perforations b, the stopple C, and a cup or funnel formed on said neck, substantially as described.

In testimonywhereof I affix my signature, in presence of two witnesses, this 1st day of February, 1882.

DAVID LUBIN. Witnesses:
